 General Notes:
OBITUARY -- William Harvey Jacobs
Died, on the 19 inst at his home in Taylor township, Wm. Harvey Jacobs. Deceased lacked only three days of being sixty-four years old, having been born March 22, 1828, in Tennessee, from whence his father moved to what is known as the Clark place, in then Linn, now Sullivan county.
He was the second child of Alfred and Martha Jacobs who had eight sons and four daughters, of whom seven sons and three daughters are yet living.
In 1850 Harvey Jacobs was married to Miss Emaline Smith. They had six children, three boys and three girls. Mrs. Emaline Jacobs having died in Aug., 1871, Mr. Jacobs has since that time made his home with his children, three of whom are yet living, viz: George Jacobs, of Council Grove, Kansas; A. L. Jacobs, of Parson, Missouri; and Martha J. wife of Rev. J. R. Palmer, of Parson.
Mr. Jacob's death was sudden and unexpected, having gone to bed Friday night apparently as well as usual, with the request that he should be called early in the morning. On Saturday morning when the children went to call him to breakfast he was found cold in death. Neighbors were quickly called in and Dr. Whaley summoned, who pronounced his death caused by heart disease. He died, apparently, without a struggle.
He was a law-abiding citizen, and a good kind neighbor, always ready to extend a helping hand to a friend or a neighbor needing help.
Thus pass away, one by one, the old settlers, who helped to subdue the wilderness and prepare the way for that civilization that raises men to a higher state of existence.
